Tales
Monday, July 30th, 2007Tuesday mornings at the library were usually fun. Grendel didn’t come until the afternoon, it was quiet and me and my homey P would just hang out and have fun. Then one day Princess came (her name wasn’t really Princess, but it was close). Princess was loud and kind of white-trashy (I just invented that word). She needed to find an apartment in Georgia that would accept section 8. And she didn’t know how to use a computer which is fine, but she was LOUD.
“MISS! MISS! COULD YOU HELP ME? I NEED TO (and proceeds to tell me her life story).” I already knew that I didn’t want to help her because she managed to annoy me and blow out my ear drums within the first five seconds of her being there. I tried telling her that I could help her as much as I could, but that this was the Children’s Department and we really didn’t do stuff like that. Maybe she should try the Reference Dept.
“NO. THEY DON’T WANT TO HELP ME UP THERE!” I couldn’t blame them, but I felt a little bad, so I proceeded to do a search for her. Everything I did was not good enough. “TOO EXPENSIVE! NOT CLOSE TO WHERE I NEED TO BE!” Alright, this is the best I can do. Then she pokes the flat screen monitor with a pen and leaves a mark, which pissed me off.
I ended up telling Grendel about the ordeal. Her evilness came in handy when she told me not to help her anymore. It took a few times but Princess finally got the hint and didn’t come in anymore.
Thank God.
She probably found a place in Georgia.
